Discussions on the IPO are ongoing and details such as the target valuation and timing are subject to change, the people said. Representatives for BofA, Goldman, Nomura and Go Inc declined to comment. Goldman invested ¥10 billion in 2023, valuing the company at ¥135 billion, according to the company’s president. Go Inc runs the most widely used taxi hailing app in Japan in terms of user numbers, according to a survey in 2024 by ICT Research and Consulting Inc. The offering could provide a much-needed tailwind for the nation’s slowing IPO market, which has had the weakest first quarter since 2022.
